Howard Products RF1016 RF3016 Restor-A-Finish, 16 oz, Neutral

I purchased Restor-A-Finish, set aside, and forgot about it. I wanted to use on my livingroom end tables as wood finish was looking very tired and old. I do not want to replace as they are exactly to my liking. The tables are about 18 years old and in the meantime (since I forgot) bought Howard's Citrus Shield Paste wax that did not do much. I rediscovered Restor-A-Finish and wow, what a difference. The shine is back and the light scratches are diminished plus a white ringed stain came out. Other than refinishing the tables (or purchasing new), this will not cure-all, I know I will have to use once in awhile when it needs a touch up, but I am very happy with how it turned out. I followed the directions (I did not use steel wool pads) and was all pretty easy.

Key features: Restores the finish on wood surfaces, neutral color. Ideal for: Homeowners, furniture enthusiasts, DIYers, and professionals.

Excellent product...works perfectly as described. Shipped in time promised

I have my mother's hope chest which must now be close to 75 years old. It has scratches and has taken a bit of a beating over the decades. However, this stuff did a great job of obscuring those scratches for several months. It isn't a permanent fix, but my Mom was genuinely shocked when she saw it after I had used this and the Feed-N-Wax on it. I had taken it to several cabinet makers who told me that it really could not be fixed without investing more than $1,000 in it; I would have loved to have shown them a picture of it after just one application of this and the Feed-N-Wax. So it won't fix scratches permanently, but it can do a lovely job with almost no muscle.

I wish I had known about this product years ago. I hated to discard an otherwise perfectly good cherry coffee table that had a white ring on it from someone not using a coaster. Having tried all the old wives remedies to no avail, I searched the internet and found a video showing this product. I was skeptical, but really had noting to lose. My mind and eyes boggled when the ring disappeared after applying this as directed with #0000 steel wool. So I decided to try it on a antique, mahogany, Hepplewhite style chest of drawers that had a huge white ring and a white scuff of unknown origin on the top of it. I was planning on having it refinished. Now, no need! The results were equally fabulous. One must look hard and long to find the areas that had been damaged. I applied Howard’s Feed-N-Wax and both pieces look spectacular. Now being a huge fan of Howard’s products (no one is paying me or in any way rewarding me to say these things) I bought the neutral color and with only a rag, went after the door fronts of my natural maple kitchen cabinets that members of the male persuasion had repeatedly splashed with water and perhaps other unknown liquids, and had allowed water to run down them, and never, ever wipe a spill, so that those near the sink were streaked and splotched with white. After applying the Restore a Finish I nearly cried. The cabinet doors look like new, and after applying and buffing with Feed-N-Wax, they are spectacular! No one would ever know that they had been damaged. I can’t say enough good things about these products. I absolutely recommend them, and will certainly continue to use them as the need arises.

This product lives up to the hype! I ordered the clear “natural’ because I was unsure what to order. It did a fantastic job.

I was somewhat disappointed in this. It didn’t cover a lot of the blemishes in the wood windowsills like I thought it would. I used the steel wool with it but it’s only somewhat better. The other product I’ve used was just as good.

Best product for bringing back life, shine & rejuvenation to valued antiques.

This is a beautiful product which works well

Very good product and good colour.

Don't buy clear finish, really not worth. May be stainer mixed will work, but not sure.

After being recommended this by a friend. I just had to try it. The speakers cabinets in the photos were made in 1980, and needed to be restored. Enter Restor a Finish, a product that works wonders on old dried out veneer or real timber. I used a micro fibre cloth and a couple of dabs, then rubbed it into the grain and watched Restor a Finish do its magic. It took approximately 10 minutes to do the entire speaker and WOW what a result. Rub on then rub off....It is that easy..... Do yourself a favour and give this a go. There is a reason why the product has been around since 1969. Highly Recommended.

As with a lot of products like this I was sceptical, even after reading the reviews. However we'd just bought a second hand solid oak dining table & chairs, it's a lovely set but as with anything second it showed that it had been well used, fading in places, usual scuffs & scratches so I thought I'd give this stuff a go, got to say I'm absolutely delighted with the result, the table & chairs are like new, even said to my wife that if we had a mind we could probably sell on & at least treble our money. I only used a clean cloth for the majority but reverted to sponge scourer on more stubborn marks rather than the recommended wire wool. All in all a brilliant product.
